How family was saved from armed robbers in Lagos

THE Supervisor for Health, Oriade Local Government Development Area (LGDA), Satellite Town, Lagos, Ojora Buraimoh Mustapha; is thankful to God for saving his family from the hands of armed robbers who invaded his house last week when he was out of Lagos for official duties.
  Ojora, who spoke with newsmen, noted that he was outside Lagos on official duties and coincidentally, his children had also travelled, leaving only his wife at home.
  He said hoodlums on that fateful day stormed his house, his wife had just entered the toilet when she started hearing gunshots and a bang on the door warning that they would shoot anyone in the house if the doors were not open within five minutes.
  He said as a woman, she was too frightened so she remained in the toilet. 
 “But the robbers who were armed with instruments started cutting the burglary proof in the house and finally gained access into the house through the ceiling and the window.”
  Mustapha narrated the whole incident: “My wife told me that they were searching for me shouting that my days were numbered.  And when they were convinced that no one was actually in the house, as my domestic staff had all escaped, they started carting away my property.  One of them was saying search everywhere for the land document.”
  “They carted away my property including refrigerators, air conditioners, television sets, jewelleries, box of clothes and money.  They entered my wife’s supermarket in the same compound and also carted away the goods in the shop.
  My wife said when she summoned courage and wanted to climb the ceiling, she noticed that some of them were also in the ceiling.  When she looked through the door hole, she recognized one of the hoodlums as an urchin who lives in the area.
  “She said she would have been killed if she was discovered to be in the toilet.  Although she is still in trauma, I thank God who made them not to think of entering the toilet, because, I am still thinking about what would have befell my wife, if she had been seen especially by the man she knew very well.”
  He said it was later that he was told that the hoodlums came with two commercial buses.  They were equally armed with sophisticated weapons as they shot their way through unchallenged.
  He said the case was reported at the Agboju Police Station and Federal Anti Robbery Squad, Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos.
   Mustapha wants the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar to prevail on the men of the FARS, who have arrested two suspects in connection with the robbery, to arrest other members of the gang who are on the run.
  However, a source at FARS told The Guardian that the two suspects were being interrogated over the robbery.
  The source said they have made confessional statement and have named a powerful chief in Lagos as the sponsor of the notorious gang.
  He said the police were on the trail of the chief and other fleeing gang members.
